Demystifying modern Smartphone Forensics: Unlocking the Secrets of Android and iOS Devices with Mattia Epifani
Mobile devices have become an integral part of our lives, containing a wealth of personal information and serving as digital witnesses to our daily activities. Unlocking the secrets within these devices has become a crucial skill in investigations, cybersecurity, and digital forensics. In this engaging one-hour talk, we will delve into the fascinating world of mobile forensics, focusing on the challenges and techniques involved in acquiring and analyzing data from Android and iOS devices. We will begin by exploring the intricacies of Android and iOS operating systems, shedding light on their unique security mechanisms and encryption methods. Understanding these fundamental aspects is essential for forensic professionals and individuals seeking to uncover digital evidence from mobile devices. We will discuss the latest acquisition techniques, ranging from physical extraction to logical acquisition, and explore their respective advantages and limitations. During the talk, we will showcase powerful forensic tools and software solutions specifically designed to navigate these challenges. Participants will gain insights into the process of data acquisition and learn about advanced analysis techniques for uncovering hidden information, such as deleted messages, app data, call logs, and location history. We will emphasize the importance of maintaining data integrity and adherence to forensic best practices throughout the investigation process. By attending this talk, participants will acquire a solid understanding of the intricacies of Android and iOS mobile forensics. They will gain insights into the challenges encountered during data acquisition and analysis, as well as the tools and techniques available to overcome them. Whether you are a curious individual, a cybersecurity enthusiast, or a professional working in the field, this talk will empower you with knowledge to navigate the complex landscape of mobile forensics.
You CAN Write an Infosec Book! with Ted Demopoulos
Reportedly, 81 percent of people want to write a book, and that number may be even higher in infosec as the field is rapidly evolving. And although almost any of us can, very few will. In this talk we cover how to write a book, what to write about, options to get it published, and how to get people to read it so that it matters. We destroy the many myths of writing a book such as you need to be a good writer to write a good book, you need to be a mind blowing expert, and you need to sell a lot of copies to make an impact. Writing a book is an incredibly rewarding experience. You can write a book. It is not that hard! If Ted Demopoulos, who historically was a horrible writer and always hated it, has written several, then you can, too.
